EP 101 Love & Corona ft Biz Jones & Ausar English
Biz Jones and Ausar English started Sunrise/Sunset Productions at the beginning of the pandemic in New York City. While already working together on a tv pilot, Biz approached Ausar with the idea to create a mini web series exploring the theme of making and maintaining relationships during social distancing.
And that was the birth of 'Love & Corona,' a romantic comedy about a young man and woman who match on a dating app right before the pandemic. The series followed them as they navigate their blossoming relationship during the age of social distance. It was shot vertical for IGTV, and each episode was a few minutes.
